Given numbers are 266,244,540,159
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 266,244,540,159 is 232194060.
Find LCM of 266,244,540,159 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 266, 244, 540, 159 |
| 2 | 133, 122, 270, 159 |
| 3 | 133, 61, 135, 159 |
| 133, 61, 45, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 133 x 61 x 45 x 53 = 232194060
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 266,244,540,159 is 232194060.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
266 x 244 x 540 x 159 = 5572657440
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266
244 : 1, 2, 4, 61, 122, 244
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 266,244,540,159, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
266:2x 7x 19
244:2x 2x 61
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
159:3x 53
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2x 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 5572657440/(1x24)
LCM = 5572657440/24
LCM = 232194060
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 266,244,540,159 is 232194060.
